safe & arm switches.
Energetic materials are used not only in munitions, but also in applications as diverse as construction, the extractive industries, and explosive deployment of solar panels in communications satellites. In all cases, it is vital that an explosion is not initiated without clear intention to do so. One mechanism for providing such surety is a mechanical shutter that blocks the ignition chain but is switched out of the ignition chain just prior to firing. The safe & arm (S&A) switches demonstrated by ht micro provide exactly this function.
